You belong to the Brown Ajah!

Amazing. I agree!

Was Rick'rolled recently and it made me pause. It's funny. But, I always loved that single. Rick Astley has a delicious voice. He was an enormously successful artist. I wish he hadn't decided to retire. Those 10 years or so could have yielded many great songs.

That was ... pretty good lyric writing!

Scrubs is pretty funny.

I had a vid of a San Francisco Early Music Ensemble (with period instruments) also, and it refused to embed!

*sob*

If this doesn't relax you, ... dude, you're too tense!

These guys are pretty great!

Seems to me that Amy Winehouse started a neo-blue-eyed-soul trend, reinforced by Adele, and now these guys. Haven't researched this, but...what do you think?

Nyanna - are you talking about the cello duel where they are basically recreating the star wars scene?

ARGH!!! I love this dude!!! It's just the one, he does the coolest covers of sooo much stuff. I got my school cello choir to play his version of the Bach Prelude from the first Suite in G...

 

I promise you all that you know it.

Here-his version is cool.

 

Words cannot express my gratitude to you, BB, for introducing me to these guys. (You posted an earlier one where they did this amazing piece on a piano: choice!) So great.

potato follows 19?

That gal was doing the mashed potato, wasn't she?

I'd buy a CASE of that!

Chex are better.

psst....what brand of vodka IS that?

interesting choreography!

Or how about blending genres and watching "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"?

Zombies. Sitcoms can be fun if you find the right ones.

I have to do one from each decade – 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. I found Big Bang Theory at first but watching the whole season in one go was a mistake

I only watched some of the others, but Friends has a certain charm to it :) plus as you’ve seen I loooove the theme song XD

 

But generally I’m not into them it all. But it was that or horror, so meh :P

Modern Family is pretty funny...

I’m studying American sitcoms but here be un example from a horror film study:

 

The horror film genre of the past three or four decades

“Recently, zombie films have made a comeback from their heyday in the late 1970’s through to the early 1980s. The zombie symbolises the mindless mob mentality with the single focused desire to eat to survive. Metaphorically, zombie films then and today speak a lot to the hyper-consumerist culture – with malls being social meeting places, materialism almost being a way of life, and a person’s status being judged more by the toys and possessions they have than by who they are as a person. Thus, the zombie’s consumption of brains and flesh to live is paralleled by consumer’s consumption of products and services to survive.”

 

…….O.o

OMG These scholars are over-thinking this and trying to assign significance where none exists. Zombies are epic monsters! Nothing more is needed for a horror film. I really don't think there's a subtext or hidden social commentary here!
